+Here you can generate an aircraft that will trigger a TCAS alert.
+First choose the aircraft type that should be generated. By default this is the aircraft you are currently flying.
+Next you can define the location where the aircraft is being generated. You can either select one of the pre-defined location or enter a custom degree (in relation to the current aircraft heading).
+Now enter the distance to the generated aircraft and the true airspeed it will be flying towards you.
+You can also define a relative altitude (by default it is generated exactly at the altitude your aircraft is currently at) and a vertical speed.
+Finally trigger the aircraft generation with the button ''Generate Intruder Aircraft'' and remove all previously generated aircraft with the button ''Remove all Intruder Aircraft'' again.
